Long Bio
As a Ph.D. Candidate and graduate research associate in Civil, Environmental, and Sustainability Engineering, Negar Rahmatollahi’s research focuses on urban climate dynamics, land surface modeling, and climate adaptation strategies. She developed data-intensive approaches like scaling techniques to quantify and mitigate heat exposure, combining physics-based, machine learning models, causal inference, and remote sensing analysis to inform resilient and equitable regional areas. Her work bridges environmental engineering, urban climate science and meteorology in metropolitan areas.
